Another family needlessly torn apart

by Visitor1984 in

i'm feeling very angry tonight as i watched my mother in law end her relationship with my husband, her son, tonight.

we were happily inactive, enjoying a distant but decent relationship with my in laws until they saw some christmas decorations and everything changed.

i spent two hours getting drilled on whether my husband and i celebrate holidays, to be told that my laws won't socialize with us anymore.

That's OK, Visitor!

An accidental three likes is a nice mistake!

I'm sorry, Visitor1984, for this unfortunate turn of events.

Many of us have already dealt with similar years ago, yet it still hurts. Somehow, though, we have moved on through the pain, realizing that we, too, once behaved in the same manner. I miss my family and friends.

May you find peace.

Thank you, LevelThePlayingField:

Your wit shines like a beacon through your well-chosen verse. Please, write more!

MissFit:

Oh, yes! A dream within a dream! So real, I believe that I'm "there"! Although in exaggerated surroundings, my recurring dreams center around my time pioneering in the Midwest (USA) and that attending conventions. Frequently, I am lost in a parking lot, on a street. The settings are surreal (as mentioned, "exaggerated") and waking up from the dream -- whether or not within another dream -- is often a letdown, while I adjust uneasily to the unpredictability of another day.

Not much control over our dreams, right?

I appreciate your comments on my writing!

Thank you, MissFit, for your thoughts -- they are right on point.

Some is literal, some symbolic. Life can be a nightmare as we stumble along, awake, but wishing for the escape of sleep. Yet, during slumber, daytime realities seep into our "sweet" sleep, distorted and phantom-like. Please, please . . . let me wake up!

Then, our eyes open, we awaken to the good, bad, ugly. From our former faith? In large measure, yes.

Actually, what you wrote was great; my doodles here are superfluous.

Best Wishes.
